IMPROVEMENT IN CHURNS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 152,595, dated July 14,1874; application filed June 10, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM Baownn, of Sugar Tree, in the county ofGuernsey and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Ohurns; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable othersskilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters ofreference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification, andin which drawings- Figure 1 is an end elevation. Fig. 2 is a frontelevation with front wall removed. Fig. 3 is a top view of thedasher-block and oblique paddles.

My invention relates to achurn; and consists of a revolving obliquepaddle-dasher, and of a removable frame carrying thedevices foroperating the dasher, arranged and held in position hereinafterdescribed. 7

A represents a rectangular churn, the end walls A of which are set infrom the ends of the side walls, forming recesses to receive thestandards and their supports of the removable frame, as shown in thedrawings. 13 B represent the standards, and G O cross-beams, of theremovable frame carrying the drivewheel. The lower ends of the standardsrest on the support-bars D I), which are provided with holes to receivethe pins to a on the ends of the standards to hold them in positionlaterally. E E represent bars, provided with notches b b to receive thepins 1) b on the sides of the standards, to hold the upper part there ofin position laterally. The standards are held vertically upon thesupport-bars by the adjustable catches c 0, attached, to the standards,and arranged so that the upper ends of the catehes,when moved. outward,catch again st the lower edges of the bars E E, as shown in thedrawings. F is a dasher-staff, the ends of which are provided withpivots, and are arranged to revolve in suitable bearings in thecross-beam of the removable frame, and in the bottom of the churn. Theupper end of the staff carries a beveled pinion, a, arranged to beoperated by the beveled drive-wheel Gr, provided with a crank, 11, andhaving its bearings on the cross-beams G (J. K represents a rectangularblock, made with a hole to receive the staff F, and provided with athumbscrew, (1, so that the block may be adjusted at any requiredposition on the strait. L L L L represent oblique paddles, attached ingrooves on the sides of the block k. The paddles may be perforated, andare made and arranged so that their ends extend beyond the corners ofthe block, and to within about a half an inch of the walls of the churn,so that the whole body of the cream may be thoroughly stirred.

WVhen the dasher is revolved the cream is carried downward by theoblique paddles, and thrown against the bottom and caused to reboundupward in the corners of the churn, whence it is again carried downwardby the paddles. The angular block aids in' cutting and stirring thecream.

To gather the butter the dasher-block is raised upon the staff till theupper ends of the paddles project about half an inch above the surfaceof the cream.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. An adjustable churn-dasher provided with oblique paddles, constructedand operated substantially as and for the purposes de scribed.

2. The combination of the oblique paddle L, adjustable block K, andstafi F, substantially as and for the purposes described.

3. The removable framed support B O for the operating mechanism,arranged exterior to the churn, and held in position by the means setforth, substantially as and for the purposes described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own invention, I atfix mysignature in presence of two witnesses.
